The facility includes Anechoic Chambers, Insectary Chamber, and Laser Labs. The new facility will help the Public Health Command to deal with emerging environment threats and health challenges for forces worldwide. The Central Energy Plant will produce chilled water, hot water and steam to support the building with N+1 redundancy.
